Dadou Sabrina Théa Ikirezi
Passionate Learner
Tech Enthusiast
I am Dadou, and I am a tech enthusiast who is excited about the potential of current and future technologies to continuously turn the impossible into reality and drastically advance the existing solutions. Growing up in Rwanda, a rising tech hub in Africa, has fueled me with the passion of being part of the circle that leads to a society’s growth. Hence I love building, and learning how to.
With an interest in AI, and the debates about its value on humanity, I am interested in being able to decipher the right approach to leverage any technology while accounting for its global impact. Hence, alongside my Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science at Duke University, I am also pursuing a certificate in Digital Intelligence that will give me knowledge of the relationship between emerging computational technologies and society.
